LEDYARD, Conn. — Bob Arsenault, varsity basketball coach at Sanford High School from 1957 to 1964 before moving to Connecticut, was one of two former coaches honored by Ledyard High School in a recent ceremony there. Arsenault, who died in 2002 at the age of 65, and Judy Standish, who coached girls JV basketball from 1963-1997, were legends at the school, according to officials who sponsored the event. Standish died in 2012 at the age of 70. While at Sanford, Arsenault coached the Redskins to Class L Tournament appearances in 1959 and 1960. It was the first tourney appearance for a Redskin basketball team in 19 years.

To honor the two legends, officials named the gymnasium after Standish, and named the basketball court the Bob Arsenault Court.

Arsenault coached the Ledyard boys basketball team from 1967-73, then started the girls program at the school, coaching them from 1975-82.
